Princess Seri sat across from Prince Hazan at the special table he had led her to, feeling confused and a little uneasy. She couldn't understand why he had invited her to sit with him away from the other princesses.As she watched him eat his breakfast, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous. She had always found Prince Hazan to be charming and handsome, but she knew that he could be a little cheeky at times. She wondered if there was some ulterior motive behind his invitation.Just as she was about to speak up and ask him what was going on, Prince Hazan suddenly turned to her with a mischievous grin on his face."I bet you're wondering why I invited you to sit with me instead of with the other princesses," he said, his voice laced with amusement.Seri nodded, feeling her cheeks flush with embarrassment. "Yes, I was actually there." I don't understand why we couldn't have all sat together," she admitted.Prince Hazan chuckled. "Well, I just wanted to see how the other women would

Princess Seri stepped out of her room, her periwinkle gown flowing elegantly behind her as she made her way towards the main hall of the Riovas palace. The princesses had received an invitation from the queen to meet up with her. She knew it was an honor. So, she wanted to make sure that she'd leave a great impression without looking like she was trying too hard. Now that it's starting to build up in her mind, it's making her more and more nervous. It's a good thing that she talked to Janine about meeting up after breakfast because that small interaction with Prince Hazan was enough to make her heart beat as fast as a running cheetah for days.As she walked, Princess Seri could feel the eyes of the palace staff and guests upon her. Maybe it was because of the dress; they might have gotten the scent of money emitting from it since their prince had bought it for her, but it's weird that the people who can't even look at her without rolling their eyes or hiding their chuckles yesterday b

Seri woke up the very next day, clueless and confused. Three maids busted into her room out of nowhere, bringing in a huge box. They did not say a single word when they saw her look at them, but instead placed the box on top of her bed and left like nothing happened. "What the hell was that?" she asked. She was half asleep when she crawled to check what the little paper on top of the box said and became even more confused. "Wear this today?" she read out loud before opening the package. "Oh goodness!" A beautiful set that yelled out her status as a princess surprised her. It was a beautiful periwinkle-colored ballgown with a corset. Everything about it was perfect, and it made her heart skip a beat, but her pockets ached. Seri immediately grabbed her phone to message her father. She made sure to tell him that she appreciated the gift, but she would rather wear those that she brought instead of spending so much on luxury. That had never been her style; she's happy with what she ha

A huge room was just what Seri needed to feel more alone. Being a puppy and being thrown into a pack of wolves and tasked with pretending to be one is not very easy. It had only started, and she could already feel the difficulty.At the very least, she could now change out of her gown and into a comfortable, worn-out pair of pajamas, the same ones she always wore at home. She wanted to cry as she felt the cushion of her bed. It's too soft, too perfect; it's not what she's used to."Goodness, this sucks," she said to herself. "I can't believe this. I am literally inside a prison disguised as a palace. Great, Seri, just great." She began to shake her head, hating how she was left with no choice but to talk to herself.Her stomach roared to agree with her. Her hunger is not meshing well with her sadness."Now I feel even more useless," she whispered. "Is this all that I can do with my life? Really? As a princess, all I can do is be pretty, sit back, and pretend that I am prim and proper.

Princess Seri has never sat so straight in her life. She felt little tiny bugs crawling under her skin and it was taking everything from her just to stop herself from freaking out. Since she entered the dining hall, she never got to breathe normally again. Being surrounded by very intimidating strangers would do that to her, of course. Sadly, her father was not there to make her feel better. So, she had to endure while keeping a really friendly smile on her face. She was forced to have a meal with the other princesses, together with Prince Hazan himself.She was fine. Even though there were three strangers eating with her, she could still manage. However, once she realized how the prince never stopped watching her every move, she started noticing how her feet shook under the table. When she noticed how everyone on the table was staring at her because of the prince's attention to her, she started having trouble breathing even more. She tried looking around, but the maids and the butler

Princess Seri felt a little icky straight away when she woke up at exactly eight in the morning. She sighed loudly once she realized that she was late. She remembered how excited she was the night before, thinking how she would help out milking the cows in the morning. After that, she'd be happily churning butter with her friends by the fields.A really peaceful and quiet Saturday morning.Even though she rushed and showered within literally five minutes, she came too late. With a sad pout on her face, she waved at Anita, her lady-in-waiting and best friend. Anita chuckled, seeing the Princess sad while she presented her two mason jars of butter."You did everything without me," Seri whined. "You know, I really wanted to help. Why didn't you wake me up? You are so mean!""I tried, Princess Seri," Anita replied. "But I couldn't. And also, I was informed by the king that you two were going to be leaving. So, I figured that you needed more sleep anyway.Princess Seri was clueless. She was

"It’s already seven; where is she?""I swear, Zin, they told me that they would be home immediately; they were just in the restaurant; what would take them so long? They can walk from there to here and it will only take an hour.""I think we should have followed Miss Lyra around as well," Zin replied to Dame. "It is much more difficult for us to take good care of her when we are still focused on the office job. It’s going to risk her life even more. We made a really bad decision; I am already calling it." Zin bit his lips and sat back down on the couch, looking out of the window to see the exact moment that the security people and Lyra would arrive back home. "I think it’s better if we just tell her exactly whats happening. It could really be the best option, but we ignored it like a psycho and chose the risky approach.""I know that trusting other people for Miss Lyra’s safety is a little bad for us to do, but it’s a matter that should be stopped by humans, right?" Dame stated. "If s

"It’s been fine," Lyra happily smiled as she spoke with her friend, Rhian. "I know that you two might think that I am lying, but I swear, I am doing a lot better this week. I am trying my best to have my best life.""I know you are really worried because of your relationship with Derrick; Zin has already told me that," Raine joined in as she placed two huge bowls of shaved ice dessert on the table. "He had told me that the two of you had a really bad fight. He asked us to be extra nice to you because you are really sad about it.""Yeah," Lyra lied. "But we were able to talk it out.""Of course, nothing will be resolved when you put time and effort into communicating your real feelings and your true emotions. It’s really great to hear!"Lyra nodded once again. She was not able to tell her friends that everything they were talking about right now were thoughts and pieces of information that appeared out of nowhere. Dame and Zin had informed Lyra one week ago that there was a rumor roami

"Dame!" Zin rushed inside the mansion with sweat dripping from his forehead. He saw how Dame’s eyes grew big in surprise, and before he could even say anything to him, Zin had already snatched his cold beer and chugged it right in front of him. "What happened to you?" Dame looked around, checking whether there was someone chasing after Zin. However, aside from the beautiful and calm view of the pool behind him, there was nothing. "Why do you look like that?" Is there someone chasing after you? Are you in trouble?" "I don’t think I was being chased," Zin said. Dame rolled his eyes when he answered. "Then why do you have to come in here as if you were about to die or something? You stressed me out within the few seconds that you arrived." He grabbed the bottle of beer from Zin’s hand and took a sip from it as if claiming what was his. "What’s wrong with you then? Were you able to visit Master?" "I did," Zin answered, sitting beside Dame. "I actually did a lot more than that, and I r

As Zin soared higher in the darkened sky, he marveled at the view before him. The borders of hell and earth were marked by a jagged line of jagged rocks that extended as far as the eye could see. The air was thick with the stench of sulfur, and the sky was a deep shade of crimson that seemed to bleed into the horizon. In the distance, he could see the dark silhouettes of mountains rising up against the fiery sky and the occasional flicker of flames dancing in the abyss. It was a desolate and terrifying landscape, but one that Zin had grown accustomed to over the years. As a demon of hell, he had traveled to the borders many times, but this time felt different, and he couldn't shake the feeling that something was about to go horribly wrong. Going closer to the edge, he felt tightness in his chest. It's always been this way whenever he flew closer to crossing the borders. He could already feel the breeze coming from the land of the living, but his gut feeling seemed to have won that tim

Elvis sat in his grand office, surrounded by opulence and extravagance. The room was adorned with expensive paintings and rare collectibles, but the air was thick with tension. Wendy, his best partner in crime, sat across from him, her face set in a deep frown. The only sound in the room was the soft ticking of a gold-plated clock on the mantle. Despite the grandeur of the room, there was a sense of foreboding that seemed to permeate every inch of the space. Both knew that they were treading dangerous waters with their plan to bring down Lyra, and the tension between them was palpable.Elvis sat across from Wendy in his office, his eyes locked on hers as he pitched his latest plan."Wendy, I need you on this one," he said, his voice low and urgent."What's the plan, Elvis?" Wendy asked, crossing her arms."We need to bring Lyra down," he said, leaning forward in his seat. "Something that we always do, but this time it's going to work out!"Wendy listened to Elvis with a sense of appre

Dame was surprised to find Lyra sitting alone in the dark living room with no lights on. He had brought lots of food back to the mansion, hoping to lift her spirits, but seeing her like this made him worried. It was really bad timing that Zin decided to try and go back down to hell that night. Dame could tell, just by the vibes that had hit him straight on, that he wouldn't know how to deal with Lyra like that."Miss Lyra, are you okay?" he asked, placing the bags of food on the coffee table in front of her. He wanted to kick himself in the face. The look in her eyes is the perfect tell that she is not doing alright, but he still chose to ask, just to make her feel bad that it shows. "You know what, let me just get the lights; don’t even bother," he whispered before walking directly to the switch.Lyra looked up at him, her eyes red and puffy from crying. "You are already back?" she asked, confused as she watched the leaves outside the window dance. "It’s already dark outside," she sa

The sun appeared again, shining brightly, proudly showing off the light that gave the dancing flowers in the breeze more life. They swayed and played together with the colorful butterflies that kept swirling around them. The birds chirped as they rested on tree branches. The leaves joining in the fun were beautiful. It was peaceful; it was another good morning."Miss Barbara, do they really have tall houses that reach the sky?" one kid named Justin asked as he pulled on Barbara's skirt a bit. He has a flushed face, and his eyes are glowing, big, and bright while listening to the tales of their teacher about the other realm."They have it," Barbara answered, tapping Justin's head. He turned around to his classmates and gasped with them. "They call them buildings, tall buildings, but most of those buildings are used as a place where they work, not their houses.""Do you think we would be able to see one?" One girl around the age of eight to ten asked Justin. She sighed and looked down.

"You already used your power too much to alter the world," Zoren whispered as he held onto Verena's wrist tightly. "You can't summon the moon; it might be your last wish.""I'll do it," she responded, not looking into his eyes. "Even if it is, I would still do it.""Verena, do you not care about yourself? We can fight; don't use your powers again!""One bullet directly to my heart and I'll be dead," Verena said coldly. "We are outnumbered; this won't work. We have to change it up a bit.""Dont go."Verena gave Zoren's hand a tight squeeze before making him let go. She walked out with her head held high. She knew that she was nearing the edge, but that did not matter. She wanted to protect Zoren, and she has one last thing to try. Luckily for her, they followed through with their side of the trade, and all the guns were on the floor. Nobody dared to move as she stood there, looking at Leo, waving the book as if he were teasing her to come closer. She hated him with all her heart, but s

Bulan was in total chaos when Zoren got in. He knew that it was bad when everyone was running out of the compound without even realizing that he was there. Because of the strong earthquake that only happened inside their compound, everyone wanted to leave and save themselves. He rushed to where Verena was. It was easy enough for him to track her since her scent was powerful, especially at that moment. It was too intense, like her aura was engulfing the entire land.His feet led him to the bottom of the tallest building they have, and as he looked up, he felt chills running down his spine. He could clearly see a commotion on top, and the only thing that was clear to him right now was that Verena was fully absorbed by her powers. She was glowing and levitating as her hands were extended, focusing on the two other people there, Mira and Leo.The werewolf prince used his speed to rush up and stop Verena from whatever she was doing. Just by the feeling that he is getting, he is a hundred p

"Father, don't you see? She is just pretending! She wanted to make you believe that she is someone that you can trust! Don't listen to what she is saying!""Mira, use your brain!" the old man said, while tapping his fingertips on the thick book in front of him. He sat down beside Mira as they were talking. "She gave us the cursed book. We have it; she gave it to us; do you understand that? She is using this book as her bargaining chip, and she only wanted to keep that stupid prince safe. Do you not realize how big of a deal this is?" the man laughed with his whole chest. "I did not think that she would be this weak, though. For a man, she is willing to risk everything, but for one guy, she gave up. How dumb.""It was a dumb decision; you are right," said Mira. "And that is what's making me think that she is only doing this for a different reason. I don't know, maybe this is all part of her plan to lure us into a trap or something!""She was able to go into the book, Mira; do you not u

Verena's POVI knew exactly what everyone's thoughts were the moment that I walked to the gates of Bulan. When the guards saw me, I could almost hear his brain register who I was. Crazy, it looks like I've become famous within their community since the last time we've all hung out. I am pretty sure that everyone knows who I am; perhaps they know a lot more than I do because I heard my name being said by a bunch of people who were coming out to catch a glimpse of me. There are at least two dozen girls and some guys who were watching, waiting for what I am up to, as some of the guards are still holding the gates closed before they get their leader's final decision. He ran inside, and I assume that he was asking someone higher up in the ranks to give him an order.In my vision earlier, I saw Leo and Mira rushing to us and getting to Zoren. I don't know when that was supposed to happen, but I am sure that I can change it. I was able to change the vision that I had when I dealt with Barbar

"I couldn't see him anywhere!" Zoren yelled as soon as he got inside the house. He brushed his hair up and stressed that no matter where he went, he would not be able to see Galen anywhere. "I swear, he was never here. If he was here, when I came back, I was sure that he would jump onto me as soon as he saw me. But ever since I came back, I never saw him. Are you sure that he is here?""I am a hundred percent positive," Verena said, wearing her thick, long black coat. "I was just with him while the eclipse showed up. I even accidentally gave him a fright when I connected with him while I was experiencing that surge of energy. I don't know where he went, but because I was not able to control my body earlier, I was not able to see him again." She bit her lower lip. Her palms felt a little hot and sweaty, and she tried to wipe them on her coat, but she knew that they'd still be damp. "I don't know if I was the one who did this to him, but do you think because of what was going on at that
